Hi authors! My students wrote letters to authors whose titles have been banned or challenged. I will not include their full names, nor any identifying information. They would love a response from you, even if it's a word or two.
P.S. If anyone has an connection at Scholastic where I could send some emails, I'd prefer not to print out letters and mail them to Dav Pilkey, but I will if I have to!
The next letter is to JK Rowling. We have talked about Rowling's anti-trans rhetoric in class, but we've also talked about how feelings surrounding a book can be complicated.
To @jk_rowling
To @RL_Stine from your biggest fan in fourth grade
By the way, all these letters were written by fourth graders. If you have any connections to these authors, students would love a response, though I did prepare them for the event that no one will hear back from anyone.
Some more letters from 4th graders to authors whose books have been banned/challenged. If anyone has any kind of connections to these authors, please lend a hand. I have prepared students for the strong possibility that authors won't respond, but it would be cool to be surprised!
Again, all of these letters have been written by 4th graders who would love to hear from any of these authors!

Christopher Paul Curtis isn't on Twitter, so I'm using the contact form on his website. I thought I'd share this great letter in support of The Watsons Go To Birmingham--1963. #BannedBookWeek
Whew. Even more love from the 4th graders for @lxgino! This one from "E".
